Need Someone 4 Hire; 0Mb in BIOS

October 8th, 2008, 2:46

Need to hire someone with fair prices for this problem and other small jobs.
I have a WD2000JD-22HBB0
The BIOS sees the drive model but claims it is 0MB; also no clicking and spins up fine.
I have a donor PCB and drive.

A drive utility shows

29.53Mb
60480 Sectors
4 Cylinders
240 Heads
63 Sectors

I can read and see all of the sectors within this range.

Lets do business,
Clinton

I'm in UK and happy to help, but there's probably a nearer pro to you on hddguru somewhere.

Come on guys, help the man out!

This is good because it looks like SA problem
It is probably fixable w/o heads replacement

Please PM a quote on this one to me. I also have a couple other drives that need repair. I have a service company so I get them all the time. I need a good contact, preferably in USA.

Thanks!
